A FREE LUNCH SALOON.

scribed-Edibles Given Away.
a dozen men who had the appearance Of
galley slaves sat at tables in the saloon, at
whose door hung a white oil cloth sign an
nouncing Chicken stew to-day" A similar
sign at the side Of tho door began, Free
lunch from u to . o'clock, and went on to
specify the roast beef, Frankfurt sausage and
other delicacies that were on tap inside.
"Do many people lunch here regularity
was asked the bartender.
"A great many workingmen, like those you
500 &c the tables, patronize us" he said.
SThey get with a glass of beer for five cents
bowl of soup and bread that would cost from
ten TO fifteen cents in a restaurant. Then
there is a table near the door with more SUBJ
stantial edibles; so they get good meal very
cheap. It's mistake to think that only
tramps and loafers eat free lunches. A num-
Der of lawyers who live in outlying districts
or the suburbs come in here for n bite during
the day. Many clerks save their money by
patronizing us"
"Do any respectable persons live ON free
lunches entirely.'
a few who are out Of work or in hard lines
y
has lived on free lunches all winter His
wages were garnisheed, and he didn't know
enough about law to protect his rights.
He does little outside work occasionally,
and makes enough to buy three or four glasses
of beer a day. With each glass he eats
hearty meal.
a man who once figured on the board OF
trade and made 81, 600 month does nearly
all his eating at free lunch tables. He lost
his money and bis nerve ON the same corner.
4 great many men out of work, mon who
have been used 20 better fare, would be
objects OF public charity or starve if the
saloon lunches We're not within easy reach.
We never refuse a decent looking man who
looks hungry, but fire out trampS and loafers
when they move ON our layout Free lunches
are not charitable arrangements, but they
are often means Of helping worthy people"
In one down town saloon, where an extra
quality Of soup is served, the crowds at noon
time can scarcely be accommodated. Often
the tables arc all filed and the patrons stand
around the room with bowl in one hand
and spoon in the other. A whole leg OF
beef is boiled up i'll huge caldron. The soup
costs the proprietor $50 day, but he makes
a clear profit Of $50 on each days sales of
extra beer consumed. Saloon keepers know
that light lunch neutralizes the effects of
many drinks, and the capacity of the drinkers
is, as it We're. enlarged by the lunches. Poll
ticians who fix up tickets, goSsipers who
have nowhere else to loaf and men who are
out for a time are liberal patrons of the lunch

The Chestnut Bon outdone.

The inventor Of the chestnut bell was be-
fore the patent Office yesterday endeavoring
10 patent an Improvement ON his previous
atrociouS invention. The improvement con-
sistS of an attachment, which will probably
give p new lease of life TO the now obsolete
chestnut bell. The new device consists Of an
elastic band connected with the bell, but fas-
tened 10 the other side of the waiStcoat.
When the bell is struck miniature rat runs
across the breast of the wearer and stops in
full view Of the victim. To make it more
effective, the word rats" in white letters on
a black background is inscribed on the
rat The inventor wanted q patent that
would cover not only the device, but the
word "rats' also his idea being to prevent
any infringement on this expression. After
due elaboration the examiner decided that so
necessary a word as rats was not patentable
and declined to grant the monopoly to the
enterpriSing inventor. The other features of
the device were favoTably acted upon

their heights. To the empyrean they

these two peerless songstresses lifted the

COTTON CULLINGS.
The Boom fn the Southwestern
Metropolis.

| NIetrOpOll8s
Cotton moults no feather in her proud
development towards great railroad
city. Among the latest projects set on
foot with an almost absolute certainty
of immediate success is big hotel on
Slower Hill. Mr.. Seymour, of the Lick
House, San Francisco, has viewed the
place, and he pronounces it the equal in
all attractiveness of any hotel site in the
country. This famous catcher to the
true inwardness OF humanity will take a
big block of the capital stock in the new
enterprise. The building will cost $l00-
600.
Another great improvement is the
new opera house. Col. A. M. Gray, the
Thespian temple builder, has already
sent on the plans. Of course that set
ties the style of the new edfice. The
estimated cost is Sl5, 900, and the seat.
ing capacity is to be 1900.
Some public. spirited citizens have do.
mated ten acres in q most salubrious and
beautiful location, for the purpose of
building thereon "The Cotton Collegiate
Institute and School of Mines" The
first building is to cost $4,000, and the
infant seat of learning is to be under the
fostering care of Professor Rogers, an
experienced and able podagogue.
Near the depot where the two roads
CT oss each other some capitalists are
about to erect the peoples Ware
house." The estimated cost OF this is to
be, say, $40. 900.
The Cotton First National Bank
opened its doors some 80 days ago and
now boasts Q business represented by
the snug sum of $95. 900.
For little town on the ragged edge
of civilization, as the "tenderfeet" look
upon the Pacific Coast, this is not very
bad exhibit.
